Congress failed as opposition in past 10 years: PM Modi

Chandigarh, Sep 26 (PTI) The Congress spends most of its time infighting and every child in Haryana is aware of it, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday while asserting the people have decided to give one more chance to the BJP to serve the state.
Interacting with Haryana BJP workers through the NaMo app, he discussed fieldwork at the booth level for the upcoming state polls and encouraged them to devise a strategy for the party to win the election.
While alleging the Congress has failed as an opposition in the past 10 years, PM Modi claimed the grand old party’s maximum time goes into infighting and taking on each other.
Every child in Haryana is aware of the grand old party’s internal strife, the prime minister said.
Attacking the Congress, he said, “The entire basis of those fighting against us in the polls is lies. They repeatedly tell lies, their talks have no head and tail and they vitiate the atmosphere.”
These days, the Congress’ loudspeakers which earlier were making big claims have fallen weak, PM Modi said. “Some are saying the Congress is becoming weak each day. During the past 10 years, the Congress has failed as opposition too.”
“The party remained far from people’s issues for 10 years… such people can never win the trust of the people of Haryana,” he said.
Modi said the Congress made tall promises in Himachal Pradesh but after they came to power in the state, development came to a standstill and they were unable to pay salaries.
